    Even if you make the strongest possible assumptions against him, his record is still better than Monzon's and Haggler's combined!

    Fighters of that era tended to use an off center stance, which made a high guard less important.

    It pains me to say it but even Floyd Mayweather would box him silly IMO.

    Just like Tunney did? Or Loughran? Or Gibbons? Or Rosenbloom? Or Miske?

    Greb was a shithouse.

    He would've gone life and death with Lolenga Mock.

    I would agree that most of his best work was at light heavyweight or catchweight.

    They look trash.

    Tunney looked good against a hyped up hobo, who wouldn't even get a sniff at an alphabet title at LHW today.

    Your heroes are trash.
    Get over it.

    Everyone is spouting bull**** opinions about fighters they've never seen, with zero objectivity, so I thought I'd give it a go.

    Seems fun.

    Why don't you speak to @klompton2 then, the premier man for Greb and a known historian and author. That is if you're actually interested in learning.
